I uninstalled RDR2 out of frustation after 100+ hours

This was a replay, the first time I played I loved the story.\ This time I spend around 100 hours in chapter 2 exploring the world, which was amazing, before moving on with the story.\ The things I found annoying-

  1. Weird NPC comments - like remarks by gang on how soon Arthur returned to camp or the blood on him, when he has a deer on his shoulder, when Arthur is the only one feeding them. Or NPC saying why is Arthur following him, while walking down stairs.
  2. Arthur saying he'll look for gang member request item even when he already has it.
  3. Law system, inconsistent economy.
  4. No repercussions of Arthur's behavior with gang or Arthur's contribution to camp funds.

This broke immersion for me on several occasions even when I wanted to believe otherwise as I was loving the world and wanted to be deeply immersed regardless.\ But these were minor issues and were overshadowed by the beautiful world.\ I finally lost it with all the spoon-feeding and the hand-holding during missions, and when daddy rockstar did not like it when I did not play EXACTLY how they wanted me to, standing in the wrong spot - mission failed, try a different strategy - mission failed, jumped directly outside Danbury's window - guess what - mission failed because Danbury just had a divine vision and destroyed the documents in a second. Fuck this shit.

However much I loved the open world this time and the story in the first play-through. RDR2 is definitely overrated and extremely annoying.

End of rant. This is obviously just an opinion, and enjoying game is the only thing that matters, so if you do, lucky you.

Is Sony a6400 + sigma 18-50 f2.8 good for casual photography (as a beginner)
  • I think they'll be mostly stationary to fairly stationary.

    I am satisfied with just keeping them to myself, printing sounds fun though.
    I'd like to share them but I don't use instagram, so I don't know about that.

  • Is Sony a6400 + sigma 18-50 f2.8 good for casual photography (as a beginner)

    Priorities in order:

    1. 80-90% SOOC (can't give much time to editing). I am ready to give time to learning and practicing manual controls though.
    2. ergonomic, light.
    3. travel photos, capturing scenes like I see them with my eyes.
    4. low light photos.
    5. long-lasting gear. Okay with getting prime and telephoto lens later if needed.
    6. videography is not a priority as of now, may explore later.

    Thanks!

    Update: Decided to go with Fujifilm X-S10 + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 as I liked the fuji SOOC jpegs more. Sigma lens would have been sweet but I'm okay with the tradeoff.\ Thank you everyone for being so helpful.

    Update 2: Finally went with Fujifilm X-T30 II + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 instead for looks, this was a close one as I had to give up Ibis and that grip.

    If humans went extinct, what would the Earth look like one year later?
  • I like the idea of humans dissapearing.
    From a neutral point of view, it's too simple, one species in exchange for millions of other species and a planet.
    Also on the universe scale, humans don't really matter so no one cares except for us.

  • want a youtube discovery alternative
  • But won't I need an account, and even without login, watch activity on youtube for it to churn out similar recommendations. First priority is not to use youtube, recommendations are a good to have.

  • want a youtube discovery alternative

    I use newpipe, freetube instead of youtube.

    It has everything but the discoverability that youtube provided.

    I would atleast like a way to find new channels based on the channels I subscribe, if not new videos based on watched videos.

    Need suggestions.

    Why is this community not named foss?

    Genuinely trying to know if this is intentional to incorporate non-free open source software? If yes then why?
